There was a thrumming from Brienne as Lex's eyes opened, bleary at first but resolute as what was in front of him took shape. Merlin, The Great King. This was what it boiled down to, wasn't it? Good against evil; like the old tales sung by the nannies.
Except he knew that was a lie - black and white always bled into each other.
Brienne thrummed again, resolving him to move forward and strike.

Suddenly there would be freedom! And not just for Camilla either! "A-ah..." She says slowly she was still standing in the room holding her head from before... The agonizing pain from fighting for her memories disappered the instant she stepped through the gate and now the only pain that remained was from right before she whited out... "Ah... W-whoa..." she says lowering her hands and stumbling a bit... Going from excruciating pain to almost no pain at all left her reeling a bit and still there was some pain...
Finally she'd get her head to clear up enough and give it a bit of a shake to clear away the last of the haziness < Camilla... > "Huh?" she'd say in surprise as she heard a voice in her head... She looks around for a moment before she sudden realizes she knew that voice! "Buyou Rouzu?!" she exclaims before looking at the Bokken in her hand! She'd finally realize the shadows which had wrapped around her arms were gone too!
< Camilla... I... I'm Sorry... I put you through alot... Forcing you to kill... Lancelot... Then... Trying to take your body as my own... I'm... Sorry... > Now freed from Merlin's spell Buyou Rouzu truely realized the awful thing's she'd done in her bid to get mindless revenge and she felt terrible about it...
She frowns a bit at Buyou's words before smiling a bit "It's alright Buyou Rouzu..." she says softly... Camilla could feel it the guilt and sadness coming from Buyou Rouzu and now the surprise at her words! "You... Were brutally trapped and forced to be a weapon... One that just got used over and over again! And then on top of it you were under Merlin's control! It's... Understandable that you would give into vengeance..." she says softly and sincerely before saying something next that would completely surprise Buyou! "I'm sorry too... For what happen too you... for lumping all Shadowlings together... And for treating you as nothing more then a weapon! I'm as guilty as any previous users... I could tell you were special but I guess I never stopped to fathom... you were actually a living creature..." Her words were gently and true all this time she'd been forcing another thing to fight with her without giving her a choice! Buyou Rouzu might have choosen her but that was the only choice she'd had! And for that Camilla felt guilty...
< I... > It was really all the stunned shadowling turned weapon could say... No human not even before she became a weapon had treated her like this and it left her simply stunned...
For a long moment both Knight and Weapon would be silent until finally Camilla would speak "Buyou Rouzu... I'll forgive you if you forgive me..." It was said softly but seriously... Camilla felt equally in need of forgiveness and in truth Buyou didn't need to forgive Camilla for her to forgive the weapon she already had forgiven her... But she wanted Buyou Rouzu to feel like she was giving something back something to ease the shadowlings guilt...
< ... > She was still too stunned by the request to even say anything at first... She could feel Camilla's guilt as well from her words if nothing else and a exchange of forgiveness seemed like the fair thing to do even if Buyou Rouzu didn't feel like she had any reason to need to forgive Camilla... She had choosen the Knight... She had forced her to do something terrible... She had tried to take her body even! Yes she was under a spell and lost to vengeance but... And All Camilla was guilty of was looking at Shadowlings as most did and treating her like the weapon she now was! Still... Camilla wished forgiveness and deep down she knew she needed it as well... Finally Camilla would feel a mental nod and it was a unspoken unanimous decision that they would say it together
"I forgive you" < I forgive you >
It would be in that moment that Knight and Weapon would truely bond and both would smile as the burden on their hearts would be lifted... They could feel it! They were now truely comrades in arms!
Finally the sounds of battle would remind the pare that they very much were still in the middle of a battle! Camilla's eyes widen as she looks at the shadowy twisted form Merlin had taken! "W-wow! I don't think he was ever human after all!" she exclaims < I think your right! > Buyou Rouzu agrees it's then that Camilla looks to the Bokken and see's the red still staining it... Frowning she closes her eyes and reaches into the bag at her side... slowly she would pull a rag out and silently wipe Lancelot's blood off the blade before tucking the rag back in the bag... < ... > Buyou Rouzu was silent as she does this and confused as well < Why... Did you do that...? > she asks finally
Slowly Camilla would smile at the weapon "Because... You are not the weapon you were you are not Merlin's pawn anymore! And you do not need Lancelot's blood on your blade! Merlin put that blood there and now I am taking it off!" her voice was gentle at first then strong at the end! (wow two parts!)

(Hah hah! I'm making use of a failroll!)
It was a powerful moment between the two which left the shadowling turned weapon stunned once more... < Thank you... > She says finally with a deep smile of gratitude
Eventually Camilla would look to Merlin again and frown before looking at the Bokken again "Buyou Rouzu... We must stop Merlin's evil! We will not fight to avenge deaths or personal mistreatments! For if we did we would never succeed against a creature of vengeance! No! Will will fight him with honor! We will fight him to save Camelot and the world from his evil! We will do it because it is the right thing to do! And we will do it together!" She says powerfully before pausing
"... If You will that is... heh" she says lightly before smiling it broke up the serious moment and had a awed Buyou Rouzu suddenly shaking her head < Heh... > a laugh! The first in many many years! < You never cease to amaze me Camilla! A stiring speech followed by some light heartness... > she mentally would shake her head again which would make Camilla laugh a bit before it would take a more serious tone
< Yes! We will do this together! We will fight Merlin as one! > Buyou Rouzu says strongly Camilla smiles and nods before raising her Bokken! However she pauses as she suddenly feels something... Wait not feel... heard! "Buyou Rouzu?" She questions worriedly only to receive a soothing feeling < Our time for you to hear my voice is coming to a close... Merlin unlocked me but you did not... So our time is limited... However do not worry! You will still hear me you just won't hear my voice! It may be confusing I know but you'll see soon and we are still going to fight him as one! > Buyou Rouzu explains before stating powerful!
Camilla frowns sad that she would no longer get to hear Buyou Rouzu's voice but smiles at her statement and nods "Yes! We will still be fighting as one whether I can hear your voice or not! I'm sorry I wasn't able to unlock you... But we are bonded now and thats all that matters!" she states powerfully < Yes! Let's go! > She exclaims unfortunately it would be that moment that her voice would cut out! Camilla could soon feel the verbal connection in her mind change to something different... She was also bit upset to feel some of the fragment memories from Buyou Rouzu slip away but fortunately to her relief the three major ones stayed!
< ...Can you yet hear me? > Buyou Rouzu asks worriedly unsure if Camilla could still hear her... "...Yes! I can! But it IS odd... It feels more like I am hearing a mental voice rather then a physical one from someone standing next to me... Still! I can hear you!" she says cheerful glad that she could still hear the Bokken! Now that that was settled it was time now! She could feel Buyou Rouzu's excitement and eagerness for battle from the thrumming the Bokken made! "Right! Lets go!" < Yes! We will help end Merlin's evil > They shout before dashing at the twisted form of Merlin with Bokken raised! Unfortunately... Despite the time that had passed Camilla was still a little off from getting her memories back! Because of this she only was able to do a fairly average strike... Jumping back she'd take a few more steps back to get out of the way "Sorry... I'm still a bit off it seems..." She says and puts a hand to her head... She was disappointed she hadn't done more < It's alright... I did a lot to you... It's understandable that you'd be off after all the pain I caused... Please rest before attacking again... > Buyou says softly with a hint of both sadness and worry in her voice...
After a shake of her head Camilla nods at the Bokken's words and decides she needed to clear her head a bit so she wouldn't get in the way and so she could do more damage next time... slowly she moves to the back of the party to let others attack...

Riley almost dropped her weapon - and it scoffed at her for being so clumsy with it - when she heard Jason's voice. She ran to him, throwing her arms around him in a tight, shaking hug. His concerned voice made her giggle, and she pulled away to hold up her sickle. "I am, as well. Mal has a voice now. It's a very nonplussed one, I should admit. It does not feel like any of this fighting makes much sense anymore."
I should point out, neither do you.
She turned to search for Yuki as well, more confident in his fate than Jason might have been. There was no way a heart so pure, so strong, and so full of hope would have ever turned dark the way others had. They just needed to find him.
"He's here somewhere. Look, there is Noemi, we should ask her if she's seen - "
Her voice caught as the name echoed in her mind, over and over and over. She heard it in Lancelot's voice. In her own voice. In voices she couldn't even recognize. It wasn't enough to be sure, since there was always a chance other women were named Noemi, but it was such a unique name, and - and - when she thought about it - she'd been drawn to the woman since the beginning, hadn't she? The woman whose skin bore a similar ruddy darkness as her own.
But it couldn't be.
Could it?
"Oh, bother." Riley whispered, her fingers clutching Jason tensely. "What terrible timing for our memories to return." Noemi was in just as much danger as the rest of them - which meant she wasn't safe. Oblivious. That had been the entire point of this.. but now, if Noemi truly was her lost sister, then becoming a knight had been in vain.
Or perhaps, not entirely in vain. Unexpected developments did have a way of making her choice worth it in the end..
One thing was for certain. Merlin threatened the only things that Riley held dear in this world. For the first time since she'd become a knight, she did not hesitate when she rose her sickle to strike. She let go of Jason, and let out a scream as she tore into Merlin's horrific facade a second time. She'd left her beads on the floor where Aymet had dropped them in the halls, but even though she'd lost them a while before then, she'd never felt so free.

My character's name: Riley Illithadian Character's journal link:ok BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MY CHARACTER Tall, slender, graceful, and entirely obsessed with purity; Riley was raised from birth as a priestess of the light, and continues to follow the values and practices of her stringent sisterhood. She is always prepared with a ritual or a prayer to help purify anything necessary, especially the air and water surrounding them, or the earth beneath their feet. She does not like being touched, or looked at for very long, nor will she meet the gaze of a passerby for longer than is absolutely necessary. She is meek, humble, and completely unprepared for what lies ahead of her. Physical Description:CLICK HERE She wears an unadorned white medieval dress, and a belt of large, extremely heavy prayer beads as a constant burden to remind her of her duty. Her face is partially covered by a modesty veil, which hangs at the lower half of her face. Her eyes are grey, and her hair is black, with only the top layer matted into tight dreadlocks using beeswax - these are carefully wrapped and braided with purple and white ribbons. See this picture for an example of this hairstyle. Intricate filigree of some metal slips in and out of the top of her hair, weaving upward into delicate designs created with special religious significance in mind. Rank of character knight
Chel went through the door and the sight that greeted her was wonderful. Merlin single-handedly taking on a multitude of attackers; it was beautiful.
She heard Shun's call to arms. She chose to ignore it.
Owain made unsteady noises in her head and she calmed them with a small smirk.
Merlin's true form scared her, that much was true. But she respected it and despite her entire body screaming to attack, she didn't. Chel watched. Waited.

There she was. Shun saw her hanging back away from the others. He also took note that she wasn't fighting. Slowly, he just shook his head. He was going to need to keep an eye on her.

A generally good first thought would have been directed towards the two forces, heated and locked in battle. How he needed to throw in his arms and aid.
< Yes, it would have. > A voice rang true through his mind as Milo blinked back the spots in his eyes as he finally awoke. He shook his head, passing it off as nothing at first.
< You have more pressing matters, idiot. >
The blue knight looked around, trying to see if someone was speaking to him directly, but no one seemed to be. Either they were attacking or they were gathering together, finding each other in the throng of battle. Which was what he wanted to do. But, the voice.
< I'm in your hand. The chains broke away allowing me some sort of freedom, even if it is with you.> It drawled, annoyed and bitter that Milo had to choke out a laugh.
He was going delusional. Perhaps the curse had caught up with him, the one they had all spoke about. Finding Noemi seemed more president before he succumbed to the madness and before it was too late. (Though, wouldn't that be a more terrible idea....)
"Lady Noemi!" He had to know she was safe.

Damage to Merlin:
Noemi pulled her trident out with thick thud in the ground. She heard the battle call of Riley, added her own. Always smaller, always a little bit tinier but none the less powerful. She was knight just like Riley. They were sisters in arms, even as she let her trident fall against the creature.
She pulled back, letting others surge forward when she heard the call. One of the only voices that would break her from the heat of battle.
"Milo?" She pushed her way through knights and reached out to grip his sleeve. "I'm here." She murmured. "I'm always with you."

How relieved he was for her to find him so quickly, not a long winded drawn out search with the possibility to miss one another as they looked through the crowd (though, it really wasn't that large). "Lady Noemi! You are safe!" Well ish. Still, he exclaimed and wrapped her up in his arms. Oh how he didn't want to let go.
< Good, you found her. Now go do what you're supposed to, idiot.>
"I am so glad! I fear the curse is upon me, I am hearing voices. It claims to be my weapon, I wanted to find you before it was too late." He still didn't release his arms. It might have been his last moments.

Noemi made a small squeaking sound as Milo held her. She inched her head up to look at him. He seemed really distraught.
But she couldn't help the small giggle rising from her. Talking weapons? After shadow monsters and magics and the curses? She was taking this with a grain of salt.
"Let loose the idiot." Brishen announced in her mind.
"Sir Milo. You are inflicted with no curse. My weapon has spoken as well. I think....I think they have broken their chains. They are free." But she didn't object much to being held. "I am sorry I left you for a little while. Will you be okay Sir Milo?"

By Camelot he wasn't dead. Ridon gripped his shield and stared at the monstrosity that was Merlin. A firm and resounding presence emulated from his shield; he coulda sworn it tried to speak but it didn't. He didn't question it, or give a second thought.
"VIOLET KNIGHTS! ATTACK!" he all but screamed, charging the monster with all his might.
